"Desserts for breakfast, anyone?" →
The New York Times posted an article about nutrition research involving desserts with breakfast in the mornings.  Believe it or not, the group that consumed dessert (and protein) with their breakfast in the morning lost more weight than the group that went with the low-carb diet after a follow up of 16 weeks.  Sounds like you just need a balance of the three— protein, carbs, and some sugar. ...

My blog is officially 2 years old!  It turned two on January 18!  It didn’t even occur to me that it’s been this long since I’ve had On Top of the Food Chain until I was going through my archives and found my very...
